Museum Archive: Vintage Rebel Deep WEE R, 3/8oz Silver / Black fishing lure #4944

Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, this Rebel Deep WEE R features a classic deep-diving profile designed to target fish at depths of 8-10 ft (2.4 - 3.0 m). The body, identified by product code 4944, is finished in a Silver / Black pattern where a gold-toned mesh scaling overlays a metallic silver base. Weighing 3/8 oz (10.5 g), the floating construction is well-suited for both casting and trolling setups. This American-made lure presents in 4/5 condition, showing light surface wear that reflects its history without compromising the structural integrity of the clear diving lip or the original hardware. The prominent yellow eyes with dark pupils provide a high-contrast focal point against the solid black finish on the lure's spine. The belly hardware is securely fastened, supporting the dual treble hooks intended for uniform or stop-and-go retrieves.
